Google Domains Subdomain Configuration

Posted: January 27, 2021 | Categories: Web Hosting

In Google Domains, I tried the trick I learned in that linked article, but it didn't work because the A record doesn't need the whole fully qualified domain name (FQDN), all it needs is the subdomain as shown in the following figure. I whacked the domain portion from the A record and it worked like a champ.
